Loaves & Fishes is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing free, healthy meals to the people of Minnesota who are in the greatest need. Since 1982, our meal program has grown from two dining sites in Minneapolis and St. Paul to over 130 outlets in 15 counties.

We serve urban, suburban, and rural communities, ensuring that no one goes hungry. Our mission goes beyond just feeding people. We alleviate food insecurity and hunger, relieve the stress of poverty and financial insecurity, and bring fresh produce to food deserts.

Additionally, we offer social service resources to the aging population, combat loneliness and isolation, and promote healthy eating habits. We also fight food-related physical and mental health conditions while reducing food waste going to landfills. As the largest free meal program in Minnesota, we provide thousands of healthy meals every day.

Our meals not only nourish the body but also provide comfort and help build strong communities. At Loaves & Fishes, we serve without regard to religious perspective and prioritize the well-being of all Minnesotans. Join us in our mission by volunteering, donating, or receiving monthly e-News to stay updated on our impact.

Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those in need
